Utilitarianism in Wildlife Disease Control

A theory that argues that the best action is the one that maximizes happiness and minimizes suffering for the greatest number of individuals, both humans and animals. In the context of controlling wildlife diseases, this theory seeks to balance the benefits of controlling disease to humans against the potential negative impacts on wildlife populations.

In Vitro Fertilization and Maturation (IVF)

A reproductive technology that involves harvesting eggs from a female animal, fertilizing them in a laboratory setting, and then transferring the resulting embryos into the female's uterus. This technique offers several advantages, including the ability to overcome issues related to timing ovulation and potential production of more embryos.

Classical Conditioning

A type of learning where a neutral stimulus becomes associated with a reflex or an instinctive response. This occurs when a neutral stimulus is repeatedly paired with a stimulus that naturally elicits a response. For instance, a bell ringing, which is initially neutral, can be paired with the presentation of food, which elicits salivation. Eventually, the bell alone can trigger salivation.
